UK Spouse Visa - Applying From Hong Kong

[dipali26]

Any one filed a UK spouse visa application from Hong Kong?
How long did the process take from date of application?
Would be good to know everyones processing times as currently standard processing times are 4-12 weeks.
Do keep me posted!

Hi dipali26,

how much was it to use the priority service ?

[dipali26]

Sorry these are estimates as my husband is the applicant:

1. Visa Application $17000
2. Priority service + Walk-in Appointment + DHL post through VFS Global $9667
3. NHS Fee $6500

Wow, and its just HK$190 for a dependent visa here. The HKSAR ImmD should really do some benchmarking against its global peers.
